EXODUS - Rick Hunolt Returns For Upcoming Live Shows
May 2, 2012, 12 years ago
San Francisco's veteran thrashers EXODUS will be inaugurating their summer festival season with a performance at the Scion Rock Fest in Tampa, Florida on June 2nd. With Gary Holt still handling guitar duties for Jeff Hanneman on SLAYER’s North American and European tour, EXODUS has invited out none other than former band member Rick Hunolt to fill-in for the band’s upcoming shows.
Guitarist Rick Hunolt adds: “I’m ecstatic, I’m nervous, I’m psyched… all the emotions wrapped up into one! It’s been years and I’ve been practicing hard. I CAN’T WAIT! I’m gonna rip it up!!!”
Long-time Exodus fans will recall that guitarist Rick Hunolt – the other half of the famed EXODUS H-Team who is on every studio recording from 1985 through 2004 and co-wrote some of the band’s best-known songs such as 'A Lesson In Violence' and 'Deliver Us To Evil' – left Exodus after the band’s highly-acclaimed 2004 reunion album, Tempo Of The Damned. Murder in the Front Row, the recent photo book documenting the pinnacle of the Bay Area thrash scene, aptly documents Hunolt’s tenure in the band. This February, Hunolt joined Exodus on-stage at the Bonded By Baloff memorial in Oakland. View Raymond Ahner’s live photos here.
